When
I'm
on
my
motorcycle
and
I
just
want
to
get
away,
I
go
straight
to
work
hard
play,
it's
beautiful
so
great
after
a
long
day
to
have
a
place
in
Kansas
City
to
actually
go
ride,
my
motorcycle
and
to
go,
relax
and
just
get
away
from
it
all.
You
don't
feel
like
you're
in
the
city,
you
feel
like
you're
out
in
the
country.
It's
gorgeous
so
come
join
me
on
North
Parkway
for
KC,
free.
M
M
Silver's
is
an
engineer:
tech
lead
with
KC
Waters
wastewater
prevention,
maintenance
division.
He
and
his
crew
are
doing
a
surface
defect.
Inspection
on
this
very
hot
day,
which
is
finding
out
the
cause
of
the
defect
in
the
road
and
whether
or
not
it
could
be
related
to
a
sewer
pipe.
Sometimes,
jobs
like
these
can't
wait
for
nice
weather
the.
N
M
Surface
inspection
isn't
a
quick
job.
This
process
could
take
up
to
an
hour
or
longer.
First,
crews
must
locate
the
defect
in
the
road,
then
drill
a
hole
to
put
green
dye
in
water
inside
they
calculate
the
distance
in
feet
and
send
their
robot
inside
the
sewer
pipe.
If
the
camera
sees
the
green
dye,
that
could
indicate
a
problem
all.
